Subject: [PATCH 0/3] uvc: Restore old vdev name

In order to have unique entity names, we decided to change the name of
the video devices with their functionality.

This has resulted in some (all?) GUIs showing not useful names.

This patchset reverts the original patch and introduces a new one to
allow having different entity and vdev names.

Since some distros have ported the reverted patch to their stable
kernels, it would be great if we can get this sent asap, to avoid making
more people angry ;).

Ricardo Ribalda (3):
  Revert "media: uvcvideo: Set unique vdev name based in type"
  media: v4l2-dev.c: Allow driver-defined entity names
  media: uvcvideo: Set unique entity name based in type
